Thanks for your answer. Do you know where I can find information on what happens when I plug a device to the usb port. I can see that /proc/bus/usb/devices gets information on my device. Now I would like to start a program, or script when this happens (ONLY when a certain device is inserted), how shall I do that, (on a standard production pre compiled generally distrubuted kernel (Mandrake/RedHat....)).
